Xbox Music Alternatives

So with the 8.1 update giving us a crappy music player, I figured I'd see if anyone has found a usable alternative. For this, I speak solely about local music playback.

I gave Nokia Mix Radio a try, but it's REALLY slow to load, so I'd prefer to find something faster than it. I also tried musiXmatch, but it sorted by track artist, rather than album artist (annoying if you want to listen to a compilation of multiple artists). I'm going to keep looking for other options, but if anyone else has something worth giving a shot, throw it out there.

@micah @kingenu have you guys figured out how to import music from iTunes to wp8.1?? I use the desktop and it is just not working... Also do any of the apps you guys are using have a ' like' or heart function ?
